1st round chemo side effects

Hi

i had my first round of chemo a week ago today for inflammatory breast cancer. I am still feeling a little rough have the nasal drip, tiredness and the odd bit of Diarrhea still - is this normal??

i thought that once you had chemo you were rough for several days then you were back to normal?? I can't see this happening at the mo - the sore throat dry mouth is making it difficult to swallow food & tablets too.

if anyone can offer me some advice or reassurance it would be much appreciated xxx

  • Hi. I had my 1st chemo last week too. I was sick on the 1st day and have felt really tired for the last few days. Do you have to have the injections at home too? I had one yesterday and ive had such a sore neck since then and it feels lumpy. Its scary isn't it? I really don't want anymore side effects but i suppose ive got to expect it! Speak to your breast cancer nurse or the chemo clinic about any worries. I called them and they reassured me. I hope you feel better soon and im here for a chat too (if that helps!)
